January Principal's Update

 Families, 

On behalf of QUEST Elementary, thank you for your continued support and encouragement as we move through the start of 2024. This time of year is always busy as we are in the middle of one school year but have started preparations for 24-25 as well. We appreciate the continued partnership and collaboration as we move forward. 

From our friends in the Technology Department

You may have received a reminder email to complete the New York State Education Department’s 2023-24 Digital Resources Survey on Thursday, January 25. If so, please take a moment to follow the directions in the email communication to complete this short, nine question survey about your family's digital access. 

District Values

Our school district recently adopted values. In the early 2000's, there was a push for organizations to make mission and vision statements to hang on the walls. It has been found, however, that these "statements" look good on paper but are tricky to use as a filter for all we do within an organization. Enter the idea of core values. Values allow us to identify who we are, make decisions, align the work, and hire for an intentional set of common values. Below are the values that the district has adopted--thanks to those who provided input! 


The blog is loaded with goodies this month...enjoy! As always, please reach out with any questions! 


Yours in education,

Derek 

QUEST Principal
